In Italian, orzo literally means “barley,” but it is actually a tiny, rice-shaped pasta.

I love this recipe! I omit the yogurt but use every other ingredient when I make this. It is easy, quick and tasty! I have made this with different types of ground meat (ground beef, ground veal and ground turkey) The ground veal was the best tasting one! My household definitely enjoys this recipe!!!

This was better than I thought it would be. I wouldn't really call it Greek...it was more like a healthy and tastier hamburger helper. I use turkey instead of beef and I added in a little lemon pepper and oregano. I also stirred in a wedge of Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese in place of yogurt (I didn't have any on hand). It came out great!
